Jan
Rauchwerger, b. 1942. Ukrainian born
Jan Rauchwerger is one of the finest artists
ever to work in Israel. He is now an internationally
recognized master. Following a major retrospective
at the Israel Museum in 2004, he is having
another retrospective in Moscow. While some
of his works are reminiscent of Bonnard,
he is his own master. Concentrating on the
everyday of housescapes and interiors, nudes,
still lifes, and domestic animals, he brings
a phenomenal sense of color and a sensitivity
to every nuance of subject. At first glance,
his works seem simple, accessible and non-provocative.
After repeated viewings the depth, complexity,
and intensity of his vision are revealed.
Each of his paintings serves as material
for self-analysis and a deeper understanding
of universal questions.
